Hi,

Apparently %pe is only supported up to (including) 5.5. It is not part 
of 5.4.123.

So this patch should not be backported here or should be backported 
differently, ie:
    leave dev_err as-is
    move "ret = PTR_ERR(tx_pipe->dma_queue);" 1 line above

(or %pe should be backported first)


PS: adding Dan Carpenter because we had a small discussion about some 
potential backport issue when, using %pe
